Yeah, pointing that out every now and then is useful. I'm never sure
whether those of us who use threaded readers are the minority or the
majority - but there are certainly plenty of people who don't realize
they exist and don't see any ill-effects of replying to messages to
start new threads (although they presumably show up wrong in
web-archives, etc. as well).
What I am sure of is that I can't comprehend how people can follow
mailing lists this size *without* threading - I just can't remember that
much context.
